[from 'Contemporary Philosophy of Mind' by Georges Rey, in 15. Nature of Minds / B. Features of Minds / 6. Inverted Qualia ]

Full Idea

If colour can be modelled as a cone, with points mapped by hue, brightness and saturation, then a rotation could be isomorphic with the hues switched, so we may all experience different hues.

Gist of Idea

If colour fits a cone mapping hue, brightness and saturation, rotating the cone could give spectrum inversion
